AFWA is the professional trade association for the 50 state fish and wildlife conservation agencies. Parks spends most of his time assisting with AFWA’s legal strategy, which focuses on supporting and restoring state legal authority over fish and wildlife resources. The program is primarily an educational effort for the legal community. Parks also works on issues of national conservation policy and supports the general counsel in meeting AFWA’s legal needs.
